Resistors

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used in circuits to implement electrical resistance. Resistors have a variety of uses in electronic circuits, including lowering current flow, adjusting signal levels, dividing voltages, biasing active components, and terminating transmission lines. High-power resistors that can generate many watts of heat instead of electrical energy can be used as test loads for generators, power distribution systems, and motor controls. With temperature, time, or operating voltage changes, fixed resistors' resistances only slightly fluctuate. Variable resistors can be used as force sensors, heat sensors, light sensors, volume controls, lamp Kynix, a professional resistor distributor, stocks a wide range of resistors, including Carbon Composition Resistors, Ceramic Composition Resistors, Chassis Mount Resistors (Planar & Wirewound), Current Sense Resistors (SMD & Through Hole), Film Resistors (Metal Film Resistors - Through Hole, Planar Resistors - Chassis Mount, Thick Film Resistors - SMD, Thick Film Res (Chassis Mount & Through Hole) and so on.
